Calls For Local Authorities To Intervene Over Tented Accommodation In Knockalisheen
The Co-Ordinator of the Clare Immigrant Support Centre believes it's a "sad reflection on our county" that people are living in tented accommodation during the current cold snap. 88 international protection applicants, who arrived into the country during or soon after Christmas, are continuing to be accommodated at such accommodation on the site of the Knockalisheen Direct Provision Centre, near Meelick. Eugene Quinn, Director of the Jesuit Refugee Service and Orla Ní Éilí, Co-ordinator of the Clare Immigrant Support Centre have been speaking to Clare FM's Morning Focus.
